DETECTIVE COMICS Wins GLAAD Award

You know what is wrong about this? Is that Rene Montoya is disgracing the question overcoat mantle. And Batwoman is disgracing the Bat family. Characters like these should either do one of these two things. DIE OR RESTART THEIR LIVES.

Yayyyy  [: 
well done. I love Batwoman ^_^ & Question.

" @KRYPTON : uhh bruce was kinda gay with robin back then , girls are a bit better than a pedophile "

Congratulations to Greg Rucka and J.H Williams! so glad that they got an award!!! 
Batwoman and the question are both great characters and I can't wait for the new Batwoman ongoing!!! :D

Love Batwoman and the Question both. Glad they are being recognized. I really don't care if they are gay or not. They are both great characters and although they share a background they are both brilliant individually.  
 
I know there is a lot of hate going around for both characters (Particularly from die hard fans of Vic Sage) but I personally think they are both great and worthy of recognition from not only the GLBT community but the comics community in general. I look forward to a Batwoman ongoing and (hopefully) The Question getting upgraded from a second feature to a lead in Detective Comics. 
 
I hope for the continued success of both characters. :)

This is great. Batwoman has been an excellent character throughout the run on 'tec. I'll be sad to see her go (but happy if she gets her own series). Well done to Rucka and Williams.

" @KRYPTON : Our society is currently undergoing a change where these things are going to keep showing up and more frequently as the older generation withers. I think it is rather progressive that characters are portrayed in this manner because people will always be people, whether, black, white, Latino, gay, lesbian, or bi-sexual. Even homosexual preferences should be represented. I'm quite glad that they received an award for their work. good job! "

As a lesbian comic reader I obviously think this is hella awesome. But I must admit that I have read none of either of those characters stories! I've certainly thought about picking some issues up, but I just don't know where to start or what is good. I supposed that's what the Vine is for! But if anyone has advise or a suggestion, I'm all ears!

To be honest, I couldn't care less about the sexual preference of my comic book characters. As in real life, whether they are hetero or homo, or pansexual for that matter, belongs to a private sphere I am not willing to enter. At least DC didn't base this characters on being lesbians. That would have taken much credibility from them.
 
I'm glad the series was prized, because JH Williams III's art is absolutely mind-blowing... although I don't really like Batwoman. I don't know, I just don't like the character. Renee is great, although a different kind of Question. She's no Vic, for sure, but nevertheless an interesting character. If it weren't for the art, I would have been enjoying the co-feature much more than the main book. 
 
PS: BTW, not play the Devil's advocate or anything, but I don't see where Krypton said anything against homosexual characters. Maybe he was too harsh in commenting that way, but maybe it's just personal taste. He may like or dislike the characters and it may have nothing to do with their sexuality.

Well deserved! Congrats to Rucka and Williams III. I love the current series of Detective Comics. I don't think I can say the same for the Question though...

I look forward to a Batwoman ongoing

That is pretty cool.

meh, this series is so bland, along with Batwoman and Question. Scandal and Achilles are much better gay characters then those two, I would rather see them honored.

@KRYPTON :
Ugh! You are such a dinosaur. Hate is so over! 

It's great when lesbian, gay, and other marginalized communities are positively represented in comics. These two are great characters who happen to be lesbians. Their book is about their journey. Their sexual orientation is just a part of that.  
I know Marvel did it with Northstar a while back, but there seems to be a shortage of gay male characters. Do publishers consider lesbian characters to be more palatable and marketable than gay ones?

It's good to see Williams winning awards. His art is amazing

Lol I've always had that feeling too Robin's early costume design was very gay back in the early years. But to each his own "

I'm glad the homosexual community is getting fair representaion in comics, but I really miss the real question.  DC kills all their best characters...
